With version v8 of the series implementing KASAN on 32 bits powerpc
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=94309),
I'm now able to activate KASAN on a mac99 is QEMU.
Then I get the following reports at startup. Which of the two reports I
get seems to depend on the option used to build the kernel, but for a
given kernel I always get the same report.
Is that a real bug, in which case how could I spot it ? Or is it
something wrong in my implementation of KASAN ?
I checked that after kasan_init(), the entire shadow memory is full of 0
only.
I also made a try with the strong STACK_PROTECTOR compiled in, but no
difference and nothing detected by the stack protector.
